The videos are almost 2 years old, i 100% agree he's very small and skinny. But like you say he could have changed, especially in the 16 months between the videos and the crime. As i said this image is only in my mind based on what witnesses have confirmed in court.
This could be legitimately explained as the fact she saw she had missed a call from him and wondered if it was because he had some news regarding Alesha’s whereabouts. When a child has disappeared from her bed, I suppose it would be natural to explore all avenues as quickly as possible.
True but I personally find it strange that the first thing she went for was her phone and returning calls. I would have thought she would have been frantically searching for alesha within and around surrounding area of flat So imo within 4 minutes of alarm being raised is very quick to start checking your phone
Maybe, but she is only 18 years old and not the child’s mother. She probably left the father and grandparents to check whilst she automatically reached for her phone to check for updates, or message friends. The instinct of a teenage gf of Alesha’s dad is not necessarily going to be on a par with a mother, father or grandparent’s reaction. I’m not sure how I would have reacted at 18, but I suspect a lot of 18 year olds reach for their phones as a crutch/instinct and 4 mins in, she may have even been thinking the little girl was hiding somewhere. You raise an interesting point though and I think the defence will use this.
I would hope and expect so!
